“And now the Republicans have the largest number of seats in the House they’ve had in Congress since the Civil War,” he said. “And it hasn’t made any difference at all. It is as though Nancy Pelosi is still running the House and Harry Reid is still running the Senate. ‘Betrayed’ is not even the word here. What has happened here is worse than betrayal. Betrayal is pretty bad, but it’s worse than that.”

I just wish it hadn’t taken money matters to finally wake old Rush up. I’d have preferred to have seen him stand on principle rather than pocket, but I’ll take it.

Now, can we FINALLY start talking about a real 2nd Party option out there…? 🙂

I have been following Rush less and less these days. I owe him. He taught me a lot about how politics works in this country. HOWEVER — and this is dangerous given his influence — but, Rush does not seem to be as informed about Islam as he should be. Given what I have heard him say, I think he is regurgitating “executive briefs.” He shows no depth of understanding, so he does not seem to share my sense of urgency over Islam. For Rush, beating the “D’s” seems to be the #1 priority — even if it means beating them with Trump (who Rush has admitted is a D, himself). I know Dittoheads will not like this, but I have come to see Rush as part of the problem, not the solution — not anymore.

Stopped campaigning for GOPe style candidates back when the “moderate” wing of the DNC (known as the GOP) starting attacking Tea Party candidates, then refused to do anything to stop obamacare other than kabuki theater-style votes, and attacked Cruz for actually trying to stand on principle for the Constitution. I send back every single campaign donation request card with a sharpie note saying, “Not another damned penny until you stop fellating the socialists!”

Joe,
I agree with your post. Although Rush does not express the emotion in his broadcasts about
Obama, The GOP and Islam that Mark Levin or Michael Savage are known to have, I am
sure that he tries to use a more tactical approach to convey his ideas and opinions?

You are both right.
Remember Obama calls himself “Black”.
But as to spirit…. there is the Black Madonna…Black Sun….Saturnalia…..the “Black” pope etc. Thus “Black” in this context serves as a double entendre used by the Enemy himself ( both the realm of Satan as well as his “representative” ) .

Understood, and acknowledged. HOWEVER, most people will only think in terms of skin color and racism. Once that blinder comes down, they are lost: you will not be able to reach them — even with a with a blow-torch and jackhammer.

It is not that I do not understand. Nor do I disagree with you. The problem is like me trying to explain Islam to people. The average person BELIEVES the lies they have been told. So, if you are going to speak in the terms you are using, only the people who already understand will understand. The rest will just assume YOU are the racist and dismiss you. This is all I am saying.

Any attempt to do otherwise requires a full explanation, as you just gave. But this, too, only serves to turn off the ignorant who are sure in their ignorance. You cannot get through the ‘self-protect’ mode that Political Correctness has built into so many Americans. I know. I have tried the battering ram approach. It doesn’t work. You have to use mines. They sneak up on people when people run over/into them. We do this by explaining things in question form. This way, when the ignorant answer the questions, they reveal their own truth. That goes off inside their PC walls, and THAT has a chance of getting through their brainwashed skulls.

I was agreeing with you but saying the “Black” aspect is also related to the long-standing tradition of the Black Church set up in opposition to The church of the Lord. This was done in the Middle ages but has survived to this day. The “Black Madonna” and “Black Sun” were some of the icons worshiped mimicking those found in the Church ….and still are. Joe knows this history and movement, so I spoke to his knowledge.

In short Those who adhere to this tradition in essence view their “spirituality” as residing in Lucifer. So to join metaphors, Obammy’s insistence upon pushing the divisive racial aspect of his agenda ( using Half of his parental gene pool as part of the foil) coincides with the non-Christian aspect of both the “Black(Satanic) Church” and the Progressive community activist Cultrural Marxism intended to bring America down. Because true Christianity doesn’t measure men by race does it ? Thus Obammy’s message is a mix of both.

Joe,
There is an ideology in the Negro family that is 200 years old, passed on to each generation
that will NEVER change as long as there are people like Black Obama, the democrat black
caucus in Congress, AlSharpton, the Rev Wright, the black muslims or Jesse Jackson!

Defining Black Obama as “Black” and an adherent of Islam are two different shoes! You can
not add them together and reach a conclusion. Each has to be exposed separately to
convince any semblance of the Negro population that you are defining an extravagant
demeaning ideology that is destructive to the Black Community.

My problem is that the Republican leadership has bought into the “Black” proposition that
this is the current BEST position to maintain their (Republican) Senate and House leadership
roles until the end of the Obama presidency. The Republicans have the false idea that if
the worst happens, they can always amend or change the bad legislation passed.

2017 is NOT going to be a good year regardless who is president! We have accepted too
much of the “Political Correctness” to revert back to “pre-Obama” times and ideas!

Don, thanks for the explanation. For some reason (ignorance?) I am unaware of the
subject you defined?

Joe, I disagree with your assumption. Dr Martin Luther King will be acknowledged as
one of the TRUE leaders of Equality in our society.

Respectfully, I think you have gotten slightly confused n our exchange. I did not address MLK at all. Nor did I address racism in connection to the GOP. Is it possible that you have brought other issues into this and are now mingling them with what I thought we were discussing?

Anyway, as to the GOP. You may want to consider another possibility. The GOP is doing EXACTLY what it wants to do — because it and the Democrats are one! They just pretend to be two Parties — for us Rubes. But they are the same Party, so what they are doing is in perfect agreement with their end goal — 1 Party rule without input from those of us left who can and actually do think for ourselves.

Joe,
Sorry that I credited a remark to you about MLK that Don included in his last post!

My GOP racism is based on comments by the Senate and House leadership that
NO consideration or discussion is possible on impeaching the current president
because of his RACE, (the first black president) regardless of his Unconstitutional
actions!

My opinions in my posts are not submitted to influence or convince any reader
that they should change their attitude or ideology regarding what I state.

The reason that I do any commenting is that I respect and wish to be informed
by intelligent, reasonable, ideas that I have so far received.

I am expressing MY OPINION based on what information (facts?) that I have
regarding any subject that we discuss. I do not engage in word proliferation
to fill up the square.

Personally, I happen to agree with you in regards to the despicable attitude of the GOP. The refusal to impeach Obama is cowardly, at best. At worst, it is an out-right admission that the GOP leadership is RACIST! After all, refusing to hold someone to the same standards as anyone else simply because they are black implies they are somehow inferior to all others because they are black. If they were not considered inferior, then the only choice left is the GOP leadership is a bunch of cowards, or they are one-in-the same as the Democrat Party. It must be one of the two, or the GOP IS racist (but then, it could be a combination of all three).

Either way, I will vote Cruz, but he may well be the last person with an ‘R’ after their name for whom I EVER vote. As much as I despise the Democrat Party, they do not hide their true nature. They display it to the world every day. But the GOP pretends to be something it obviously is not — not any longer. And for this, I HATE the Party — and I mean HATE IT! It needs to die. It does not need to be ‘saved’ or ‘reformed.’ A rabid animal is put down, and that is what the GOP has become — a rabid animal we need to put down.
